This is the announcement thread for the Calgary Comic Expo in 2018. The dates are April 26-29, 2018.
I will be set up with my standard 2 booths, same location, right beside/behind @500Club, @kimik, @Artboy99, and @thehumantorch. I'm hoping that my buddy @aardvark88will set up again, too. This is always a great show, and by far, my favourite show to set up at and to attend, every single year. On top of the high attendance, the strong sales, and the decent guests, the great group of boardies that come to Calgary, make this easily the single best "must attend" show.
In the title of this thread, you can see I wrote (Fan Expo Canada). Well, the news announced today says that the Calgary Expo and Fan Expo (Informa) have joined forces. Only time will tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I, myself, liked the way the Calgary Expo was run. Other than the unnecessarily strict demands of the staff running around citing Fire Marshal this and Fire Marshal that, the show was excellent the way it was. This joining of the two teams hopefully brings more big name comic and celebrity guests to the show, and my fingers are crossed that this doesn't lead to booth cost hikes for 2019.
I'll keep adding to this thread with updates on guests announced and news.
@Kevin Boyd, if you know any details or if you're the guy who's supposed to post the updates as they come, feel free.

I am looking to get several comics signed at an upcoming local convention. Fortunately, CGC and the convention both claim a CGC Witness will be present. I have seen many forum posts about how to get your SS slab but they all were for when there would be a CGC booth at the convention.
My Questions:
When I arrive at Con, what should I do to get my comics signed in the presence of a witness?
What will happen next?
Do I need to be a CGC member? (since there is no CGC Booth offering their on-site services)
Thanks for any/all help!
(I want to get Ultimate Spider-man #1,#3,#5,#100, Spec#1; Ultimate Fallout #1, #4;and ASM #361 all signed by Mark Bagley; and Michael Golden to sign Ultimate Spider-man Spec#1) => Not looking to resale, just for personal collection. Yes, I'm ready to drop some dough.

Reviews of the Plastic City Comic Con!
"Pure awesomeness! So much fun. Vendors were all great. I picked up a large stack of books for fair price. I hope that this was the first or many Plastic City Comic Cons. Big thanks to the organizers for making this such a nice event." "Plastic City was amazing! The crowd was happy, the vendors and artists were top notch. I will be at this event every time they have it. 10 star rating if fb allowed it." "Best Con of the year! Any freaking year!!! Keith (the promoter) has the perfect vision of what makes an old-school comic show work due to years of being in the trenches. I should know, I was there crying with him. He took that winning formula and applied it to what is wrong with shows today. The result is Plastic City Comic Con and the beginning of a new movement! BOOOOM!!!!!!"

I'm looking into getting a sketch and signature from an artist at an upcoming Convention,
but I need to send him the book beforehand so he can start the sketch.
What do I need to do to make sure that CGC will still take it and verify it at the Con?

See you there.

i recently met stan for the first time in Megacon 2017 Orlando and thought he would never come back to florida yet he is making a final florida appearance to support hurricane Irma funds i bought a special package that entitles me to a Q&A, selfie, and private signing with Stan with one autograph, but i need help on what i should get him to sign, should i get him to sign
A. a 16x24 photo of me and stan as a photo op and since its a private signing probabley ask him to write something extra like "excelsior!"
B. a Steve Ditko signed letter i received many years ago where he sent me a dedicated letter, (i do feel that stan might ruin the letter)
(p.s this is for my persanal collection and even though i know the photo op wont be worth anything it will be worth soemthing for me.)

Hey gang, usually someone beats me to posting here, but I noticed there's no thread so far about DALLAS COMIC SHOW this September 16-17. We're back at the Richardson Civic Center. Got a really fun mix of guests attending, both on the comic and media side, and super affordable admission to boot. Our VIP is $50, our cheapest yet! Check out the guest list and let me know if you guys are coming. Might be one or two surprises left too...

I've done a bit of searching for information on Brian Holguin and I keep coming up short. It seems he is fairly reclusive. He was a writer on Spawn for many issues. I'd like to get his signature witnessed. Does anyone have any leads or own any Spawn books with his signature? I've seen a signature series book with his signature, so I know someone has gotten him at some point.
PM or respond here.
Thanks!
